Many institutions plan to use video banking for enriching the customer/member experience, improving operational efficiency, or growing revenue.
Financial Services Organizations Buy Into the Concept but Are Moving Slowly
Deployments and pilots have not increased as quickly as expected over the last few years.
Top reasons for not offering a service:
Say they already offer or plan to offer video banking. This number has been consistent three years in a row.
Have already fully deployed or are piloting a video banking service.

Few Consumers Have Been Exposed to Video Banking
Exposure to in-branch banking in Europe is slightly behind that in the United States, whereas overall adoption is higher in the United States.
Percentage of respondents who have been invited to take part in a video banking session.
Despite the growing number of institutions offering video banking services, few consumers have had an opportunity to use them.
Only 15% of consumers have been invited to any type of video banking session, either online or in-branch.

In-Branch Or Online Video Banking? Why Not Both?
The current levels of deployment, pilots, and intention to deploy are now very similar for both forms.
Among organizations that are already offering or plan to offer video banking, most expect to offer both online and in-branch services.
We are now seeing a convergence.
Behind in-branch video banking only two years ago, online banking is being deployed more often. We expect both to eventually be broadly available.

“We use video banking in branches across the U.S. where we have small to no staff. It allows us to have a presence and still serve our members where the concentration of SEG employees doesn’t warrant a full-service branch. We also use it in our digital
platform on mobile and desktop applications.”
- Carey Price, SVP and Chief Retail Officer, BCU

Recommendation
Favor a Holistic Approach
When building your strategy, consider how you can leverage video banking across all your business units.
• Are you looking to reduce the average handling time and increase the first call resolution rate in the contact center?
• Are you looking for ways to strengthen private banking client relationships with deeper wallet share?
• Do you want to increase loan closure rates and shorten the sales cycle?
• Is the head of retail banking willing to optimize the cost of the branch network?
Not only will this big-picture strategy help you build a more solid business case, it will also help you create a service that will scale to meet all of your business needs.

Don’t Forget to Measure!
“If you can’t measure it, don’t do it” is common business
advice.
Even so, many survey respondents could not comment on
results they achieved with their video banking service.
Establish KPIs up front and implement the right tools and
processes to evaluate the performance of your video banking
service.
This is the only way you can prove its value and fine-tune
your offering to take full advantage of video banking’s
opportunities.

The Importance of Integrating Video Banking into the Existing Environment
This is a critical element that many off-the-shelf video banking solutions fail to deliver. Video banking is more than video communication between an agent and a customer/member, it’s about a complete omnichannel experience, which requires:
• Integration into tools that both customers/members and staff already use: website, mobile app, CRM, calendar apps, etc.
• Seamless transfer among channels, including video, so that information that was exchanged via one channel is available in all other channels.
Top challenge reported by those who said they could not find the right technology: Lack of integration capabilities.

Few Technologies Are Reliable in a Consumer Environment
The standardization of WebRTC has allowed other video conferencing vendors to quickly develop solutions that look promising but actually offer limited capabilities. These include:
• Lack of resiliency and scalability needed for a compelling user experience
• Limited support for mobile devices or for multi-party calls
• Lack of support for alternate connection methods as well as WebRTC
Other key challenges reported by those who could not find the right technology relate to the need for online video banking to work in a consumer environment. It must:
Deliver high-quality video and audio over the internet, including on Wi-Fi and 3G/4G networks
Support any device the customer may be using

Many video conferencing vendors try to repurpose their existing internal collaboration solutions to launch a B2C service. Such services miss the resilience and scalability needed to deliver a compelling consumer experience.

“For video conferencing to make sense for us, the solution needs to perform consistently,
regardless of where our mobile customers are.”
- Cathy Honor, SVP, Contact Centers, RBC
28 © Vidyo, Inc.
Look for a platform, not just a video communication solution.
Shortcuts to save time and money often accomplish neither. Don’t be tempted to pick a low-cost solution to quickly implement an isolated video channel. You’ll likely have to start from scratch when you need to expand.
• With an initial use case of in-branch video banking, consider the robustness of the video engine. The technology must be up to par for online and mobile when you’re ready to add those environments.
• Low-cost technology can deliver basic features for a quick proof-of-concept. While successful, it doesn’t scale for broader deployment.
It’s critical to find a solution that can support the use cases you are considering in the future as well as today. The platform must be robust enough to work in any environment and offer deep customization and integration capabilities.

The Adoption Challenge
Respondents who’ve implemented a video solution said that driving adoption by customers, members and staff is one of the top challenges they have faced.
Even as consumers embrace more video technologies in their personal life, it is not necessarily a natural step to enter a video interaction with their financial services provider.

The Good News: Consumers Are Likely To Say Yes

Full Video Aversion Is Very Rare
Only a minority of consumers rejected video banking.
I don’t think a video call can help with any transactions with my bank.
When I visit a branch I prefer to see people in person.
The main reasons people did not join a video banking session were:
They thought it could not have helped with the specific transaction they were carrying out.
They did not want to spend time trying something new.
They felt they did not have the required equipment (internet connection or device) for online video banking.

Like any new technology, video banking is going through an adoption curve. We are still in the early days, and being clear about the availability of the service and its benefits is essential to accelerate adoption.
Internal communication and training help ensure that staff offers the service each time it can add value.
Last but not least, anybody can and will adopt video banking. Why not offer it to your entire customer/member base?
